Just like any year, there were some ups and downs, but I'm happy with how it went for my students.
I tried quite a few new things in my classroom. We did more video based discussion, we stepped away from the textbook more, and we used more technology than in the past.
Did it work? Sometimes.
There were absolutely some times where the new stuff didn't work and I have the test scores to prove it. There is also plenty of data to support some of the changed we made, and, if you ask the students, they will tell you that they know more about the the world than when they began. That's a win in my book.
I'm proud of how far they have come and what we accomplished together. Have a great summer teachers and students. Find something you are proud of from your year and try to have more of those moments next year.
